Mango and Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese



Ingredients:

1-2 heads of Romaine Lettuce Chopped
1 bag mixed greens
1/4 cup chopped mangos
1/4 cup chopped strawberries
1 small can of mandarin oranges not in syrup and drained
2 TBSP chopped walnuts
2 TBSP dried craisins
3 TBSP crumbled goat cheese

In a large bowl add your chopped lettuce, mangos, strawberries, drained oranges, walnuts and craisins. Toss together, and add your crumbled goat cheese. Serve and enjoy.

Tip: With this salad you can add your favorite light vinaigrette (here we used a Mango dressing), or fresh squeezed lemon.

 
Dessert:
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream Sandwiches



1 Package of refrigerated cookie Dough (any of your favorite brand, here we used a Whole Foods All Natural Cookie)
1 (½ gallon) container of your favorite low fat ice cream or yogurt (vanilla, or chocolate)
½ cup mini chocolate chips
½ cup crushed walnuts


Cook the refrigerated dough according to package. Once they have chilled take your ice cream and scoop 1-2 TBSP onto the cookie. Place another cookie on top of the ice cream. Now you have a sandwich. Take your 2 toppings and roll the outside of the cookie over it so it gets a nice coating of chips and nuts. If you are eating them right away then do so; if you are making them in advance then place all the sandwiches on a baking tray and place in the freezer for ½ hour to 40 minutes and then serve.
